Biometrics

Biometrics is the technology of measuring and evaluating biological data that follows the following procedure: data acquisition, encryption and analysis (GVSU 2015). The benefit of biometric use is that it requires minimal or no data when analysing the authenticity of an individual. According to Consterdine, Pendry and McKinlay (2012) biometrics uses age assessment, fingerprints, photographs, iris scans, language analysis, and body odour to determine an individual’s identity. The biometric…

There are always risks associated with biometric data. Biometric information is irreplaceable, and if duplicated or stolen, cannot be reset. Some biometrics, such as fingerprints, can be duplicated via clay molds. Biometrics are becoming cheaper and easier for organizations to implement, but organizations and IT security managers must think about how users feel about tracking. They…

have your gun safe picked out and are confident about its security and fire protection, it's time to figure out how you'll access your treasures. For the most part, modern gun safes use three access methods: combination lock, electronic lock and biometric lock. As you've probably already guessed, they each have their own advantages and drawbacks. Each requires consideration. Starting with the most traditional, the combination lock is the picture of simplicity and reliability. Merely spin the…

They provide a way to increase security and confidentiality of personal information. It is exceptionally difficult to forge someone’s fingerprint or alter their biometrics so they are less likely to be forged or manipulated for harmful activities which make people safer from becoming a victim of identity theft. Convenience plays a big role in the benefits of the new cards, their new small card-like shape makes them…

of automatically recognizing who is speaking [4][24] on the basis of information obtained from the speech waves[13],[18],[20],[21][22]. It should be noted that this process of recognition is different from speech recognition which is not [5][16] biometrics and it’s defined as the process of recognizing what is being said, e.g., dictation of words by an individual for computer understanding (speech to text recognition). The goal of speech recognition is to answer the question “what are you…

and is very evident in the healthcare settings. Emerging technologies that will change the practice of nursing in the next decade will be genetics; genomics, less invasive and more accurate tools for diagnoses and treatment, 3D printing, robotics, biometrics and electronic health records. Health professionals will have to be skilled or trained to develop and acquire, use and integrate these emerging technologies. (Carol Houston, MSN APA) The technology of genetics and genomics (a branch of…

she can punch in on his behalf. The problem is even worse for employers that track time via paper timesheets, as it’s almost too easy for one employee to sign in for a friend. Buddy punching can be prevented, however—thanks to the advancement of biometrics. There are many time clocks on the market that can read individual faces, fingerprints and hand prints. Extending authorized meal times and breaks is another common form of time theft. A 30 minutes’ lunch can easily turn into a 45-minute…

generated For each modality Index codes are generated using the corresponding matcher. During retrieval, the index code of the probe is compared against those in the gallery using a similarity measure to retrieve a list of candidate identities for biometric matching. the proposed indexing technique on a chimera multimodal database resulted in a reduction of the search space by an average of 84% at a 100% hit rate. The main factor for the amount of speedup during identification was the…

Fingerprints are captured with much more difficulty and a significant proportion of the population has fingerprints that cannot be captured with quality sufficient for recognition. Another characteristic for a biometric is hard to claim. With this technology it’s very difficult to identify the twins since face shape, especially when young, is heavily influenced by genotype. Face recognition also has the advantage that the devices are cheap and are becoming a commodity…

A database technology basically Five examples of a database technology is like an ATM ( automated teller machine ) , online banking, biometric screenings and multimedia’s in libraries. First of all I will describe about “Online Banking”. Online banking basically is where people can just directly do their banking purposes and deals just throughout the internet without going to the bank. Online banking is a great feature, most banks do offer it. There are several benefits and its limitations of…
